Chicago Residence

Well, I picked up my keys to my new place on Friday.  Unfortuantely I won’t be moving all my goodies up there until next weekend.  However, I am happy to report that Erin is completely moved out of the dorms, and is in her new apartment.  It’s just a slight improvment.

Aaron is actually pretty much all moved in to the new place.  Granted, he doesn’t have much right now, but that should change on the 25th, since that’s when he’s getting a rather large load of furniture delivered.  Today we actually met at the apt and did a little bit of cleaning.  Man, we’re gonna need more “stuff” in order to fill it.  I knew that I didn’t have much at my apt in Champaign, but I think it’s going to be even more noticable here.

Anyways, I was looking at how much renting a Uhaul costs.  Man, they really want you to not move on Saturday’s don’t they?  First of all, their website actually uses some fairly effect propaganda to get you not to rent on a Saturday, and then they go and charge you $50 or more.  It’s not really a big deal for me though, since next weekend is a three day weekend, or at least it should be, I actually haven’t found out about that at work yet.  Oh yeah, and for some reason, I never thought it’d be that much.  It makes me wonder how much hiring people to do it would costs, though (little late now, and I won’t be around all week).

Oh yeah, and getting my furniture up the four flights of stairs in the new place could be interesting.  I actually took a look at it today while I was cleaning.  Should be a good time.  Thankfully I don’t have stuff that’s incredibly heavy, but the couch and stuff are fairly large, so manuevering them could end up being interesting.

I’m very excited about the new place though.  We’re thinking about making one of the rooms into a “music” room of sorts, since Aaron has a lot of guitars (plus amps) and a Sax, and I have a guitar and a trumpet that I can bring back from my parent’s place.  Should be good times.
